Theme: Challenges Thematic Statement: Although at first we might not get what we want as time goes by and challenges block our path we realize what we ended up with was what we truly needed.
Setting: Araulen
Point of View: Will
Main Characters and a brief description of each: Will is an orphan who becomes a ranger's apprentice. Halt is a member of Ranger's Corps, trains Will, and is famous throughout the kingdom. Horace is a ward in the Castle Redmont with Will who eventually becomes a battleschool Apprentice. Gilan is Halt's former apprentice. Morgarath is the former Baron of Gorlan who is rebelling against King Duncan. Alyss is a former ward mate of Horace and Will. George is Will's former ward mate. Tug is Will's horse. Baron Arald is the lord of the Castle Redmont.
Cental conflict and how it is related to the theme: When Will got rejected from battleschool he was chosen to be a Ranger's Apprentice. While he was a Ranger's Apprentice he faced many challenges that made him like being a Ranger's Apprentice to the point that when he later could go to battleschool he rejected the offer. For him it was a challenge being rejected but in the end he loved what he was doing.
How was the theme developed?: The theme was first developed when Will got rejected from battleschool because he was too small. Next, Will saved Horace from being skewered by a boar. After that, at a gathering there was a report of a Kalkara, vicious creatures that Morgarath rallied were at large and Will was chosen to report the news to Castle Redmont. Then, when Will got back the battle had begun and Will instinctively acted and lit an arrow on fire and shot it at the Kalkara attempting to save Sir Rodney. Later Will was asked to attend a meeting where because of his deeds he was excepted into battleschool but he refused.
If this was a newly selected author, would you read another story by him/her? Explain: Maybe, because the book was somewhat interesting, but I don't like reading in general.
